5.00Despite the rainy weather, Dale gave one of the best City Walking tours I have ever been on. The Blue umbrella was definitely needed. His knowledge of the city and it's history was astounding. It was at a good pace and he answered all our questions. It included some time for a snack/coffee break which was needed to get in out of the rain. 2 1/2 hours of walking was just the right amount of time to take in the highlights of the city. We liked the 11:00 am morning tour so much, we immediately signed up for the 3:00 pm afternoon one regarding WW II and the Jewish Quarter. You will not be disappointed. He was well tipped because we enjoyed the tour so much. He earned every dollar.
Higly recomended
